THE SEDIMENTATION OF MANGANESE IN THE OPEN OCEAN. Final Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4843601
The sedimentation of manganese in the open ocean is discussed. The acetate buffer separation technique was applied to 6 cores, 3 from the Atlantic Ocean near the equator and 3 from the Caribbean Sea. The manganese distribution in the soluble fraction followed a consistent pattern, a very low concentration of soluble manganese in the surface layers followed by a linear increase with depth. Only one core showed a linear decrease with depth. Calcium, magnesium, and strontium concentrations were also determined. All of the cores examined showed a constant linear decrease in insoluble manganese with depth. (M.C.G.)
